If you’ve ever found yourself crying over a lukewarm sandwich or spiraling after one minor inconvenience, this episode is for you.
Today, we’re unpacking why things that seem small can feel so massive — and why it has nothing to do with you being “too sensitive,” “lazy,” or “bad at handling stress.”
We’re talking nervous system states, survival mode, the myth of “normal” stress, and what actually needs to happen for your body to feel safe enough to respond with presence — not panic. Spoiler alert: it’s not about getting tougher. It’s about tending to your baseline.
I’ll walk you through:
what your nervous system is really doing when it “overreacts”
why overwhelm might be the most appropriate reaction to your current conditions
and how to stop gaslighting yourself for the very real signals your body is sending
This one’s tender. Honest. And very needed.
Let’s talk about it.
✨ Plus: I’ll share a free grounding practice mid-episode to help your system settle as you listen.
